A method of gait analysis for daily orthopaedic practice

A method of gait analysis is described which uses two-dimensional cinephotography, two glass platforms for 6-component force measurements of floor reactions and electromyography transmitted by radiotelemetry. It is used regularly on all patients needing lower extremity surgery for neurogenic gait disorders as a basis for planning and control of treatment. The cinephotographic pictures make the records easy to understand, a primary requirement for clinical use.
